Why Lindsay Clancy’s Prosecution May Have Already Lost
The prosecution rested after fourteen days and more than seventy witnesses. Before trial, the defense conceded that Lindsay Clancy killed her children. The prosecution’s job was to prove she was sane and acting with premeditation when she did it. After three weeks, what they may have proven instead is how badly her medical providers failed her.
Patrick Clancy, their first witness, testified he was never told not to leave Lindsay alone with the children and that he didn’t know what psychosis was until after January 24th. The prosecution’s own psychiatrist admitted under cross that she never met Lindsay in person across fourteen appointments.
The defense psychologist has met with Lindsay more than sixty times and diagnosed her with bipolar disorder with postpartum psychosis. He testified she had no appreciation for the wrongfulness of her act. Lindsay’s mother and mother-in-law both took the stand and described a woman begging for help that never came in the form she needed.
Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, evaluates whether the prosecution accomplished what it needed to and where this jury is likely to land.
